Save Twickenham Film Studios!

20 March 2012

stop unwanted development in your neighbourhood

Twickenham Film Studios, which has stood in the heart of St Margarets for ninety nine years, is in imminent danger of being sold to property developers Taylor Wimpey. They are planning to redevelop the 2.25 acre site with a mixture of residential flats, shops and offices.

Twickenham Studios still attracts big film industry names such as Steven Spielberg, despite a lack of interest by the studios’ absent owners. It is an important part of the British Film Industry and whatever you may have heard, Twickenham Films Studios, given a chance could flourish once more.

If sold to a developer such as Taylor Wimpey, we the residents of St Margarets and Twickenham will be faced with:

Years of disruption and noise

Added congestion on roads and more pressure on parking

Further strain on public transport

Increased competition for places at oversubscribed schools.

Twickenham Film Studios is a little bit of Hollywood on our doorstep. It enhances the character of St Margarets. A new housing development at the centre of our neighbourhood would be detrimental.
